According to the department, this will help applicants who face longer application processing times. They will receive a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) renewal and will not need to file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

This change will only apply to those who have applied for naturalization (Form N-400). Their green cards will be renewed for 24 months (2 years).

The agency will send a notice of receipt of the N-400 form with updated wording and indicating that the green card has been automatically renewed for 24 months. Such a notice may be submitted along with an expired green card as evidence of continued legal status, as well as a work permit.

Prior to this change, naturalization applicants who did not apply for naturalization 6 months prior to the expiration of their green card must file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, to renew their legal status.

Applicants who applied for naturalization at least six months prior to the expiration of their green card were eligible for an identity stamp in their passport that served as temporary proof of their LPR status.

The change will apply to all applicants who file Form N-400 on or after December 12, 2022. Individuals who applied for naturalization before December 12 will not receive an updated notice of receipt of Form N-400. If their green card expires, they must still file an I-90 or get a stamp.
